What are the three things that limit cell size?


1. The larger a cell becomes the more demands the cell places on its DNA


2. The cell has more trouble moving enough nutrients and waste across the cell membrane


Example: A larger cell would have trouble getting nutrients to all parts fast enough to support its size.


3. Ratio of Surface Area to Volume

how do you find surface area?

length x width x 6

how do you find volume?

length x width x height

how do you calculate the ratio?


surface area to volume


surface area/ volume

before it becomes too large, a growing cell?

divides forming two "daughter" cells

the process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells is called?

cell division

cell division in eukaryotes has _____ ____ _____ because it is _____________.

two major stages, multicellular

what is the first stage?

Mitosis

what is mitosis?

the division of the cell nucleus

what is the second stage?

cytokinesis

what is cytokinesis?

division of the cell cytoplasm

genetic information is passed from _____ ______ to the _____ on __________.

one generation, next, chromosomes

before cell division, _______ _________ ___ _______ ___ _______.

each chromosome is duplicated or copied.

what does each chromosome consist of?

two identical sister chromatids

each pair of chromatids is attached at an area called the _________.

centromere

when the cell divides, _____ _______ _________.

the chromatids separate

each new cell gets ______ ___________.

one chromatid

the _____ _____ is the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide

cell cycle

this is the period of growth that occurs between cell divisions

interphase

what are two things the cell does during the cell cycle?

the cell grows, prepares for division and divides to form two daughter cells each of which begins the cycle again

the cell cycle consists of how many phases?

4

what are the four phases?


1, G1- (first gap phase) grow


2. S phase -synthesis phase


3. G2- (second gap phase) grow


4. M phase- Mitosis (cell division)

During G1, the cell does two things. which are?

increases in size, and synthesizes new proteins and organelles

during the S phases the cell does 3 things. which are?

chromosomes are replicated, DNA synthesis takes place, and it usually completes the rest of the cell cycle

During the G2 phase, the cell does 2 things which are?

organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced and once G2 is complete the cell is ready to start the M phase

what are the four phases of Mitosis?

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

what is the first and longest phase of mitosis?

prophase

what happens during prophase?

the centrioles separate and take up positions on opposite sides of the nucleus

what happens to the centrioles?

they lie in a region called the centrosome.

what does the centrosome do?

helps to organize the spindle

what is a spindle?

a fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes

___________ condenses into chromosomes

chromatin

the centrioles ______ and a ________ begins to form

separate and spindle

what happens to the nuclear envelope during prophase?

it breaks down

what happens during metaphase?

the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell and the microtubules connect the centromere of each chromosome to the poles of the spindle

what happens during anaphase?

the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes

the chromosomes continue to _______ until they have __________ into ______ groups

move, separated, two

what is the final stage of mitosis?

telophase

chromosomes gather at ________ ends of the cell and ________ their ________ _______.

opposite, lose, distinct shape

what happens to the nuclear envelope during telophase?

a new nuclear envelope forms around each cluster of chromosomes

what is cytokinesis?

the stage where the cytoplasm pinches in half, and each daughter cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes

what happens with a plant during cytokinesis?

a structure known as the cell plate forms midway between the divided nuclei.

the cell plate gradually develops into a __________ _________.

separating membrane

a cell wall then begins to _______ ____ ____ _____ ____.

appear in the cell plate

cells will reproduce until?

they come into contact with other cells

when cells come into contact with other cells, what do they do?

they respond by not growing

this demonstrates that controls on cell growth and division can be?

turned on and off

what are cyclins?

protein that regulates the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells

what are internal regulators?

proteins that respond to events inside the cell that allow the cell cycle to proceed only when certain processes have happened inside the cell (checkpoints)

what are external regulators?

proteins that respond to events outside of the cell and direct cells to speed up or slow down the cell cycle

cancer is a disorder in which some of the body's own cells _____ ____ _____ __ _____ _____.

lose the ability to control growth

cancer cells divide uncontrollably and form?

tumors

what are tumors?

masses of cells that can damage the surrounding tissues (may be cancerous or benign)

what is metastasis?

cancer traveling to other sites

cancer cells may break loose from tumors nd spread throughout the body, disrupting normal _________ and causing serious medical problems or even ______.

activities, death

cancer cause what four things?


1. smoking


2. radiation


3. viruses(HPV which is an STD that can cause Cervical cancer)


4. genetic (breast and colon cancer)

defect in a gene is called?

P53

the gene that stops the cell cycle until all ________ are properly copied

chromosomes
